More
than 100 adventurous people turned out on Sunday, May 23, for a great
day of orienteering at Sacramento Bar in Fair Oaks. This was GCO's
last event this Spring, and we are hoping to see many of you return
later in the year for our Autumn events.

Jonas
Libell set five difficult but fun courses (White, Yellow, Orange, Brown
and Red). We were extremely lucky to have perfect orienteering
weather: a combination of sun and some cloud cover, with the temperature
in the upper 60s. The meet was perfectly timed, as there was rain
in the days leading up to and following the event.

There
were only a few entries on the White (beginner) course. It seemed
the more adventurous people came out this time to try their luck on
Yellow through Red. The courses proved to be rather tough for
some, but we hope you enjoyed your adventure.

The
El Dorado Hills Triathlon Club brought 14 participants! Hope to
see you at more of our events this year!

People
came from far and wide; lots of locals, many from the Bay Area, some
from Truckee/Reno, and even Glen Schorr (the national organization's
executive director) came all the way from Baltimore, Maryland!

Many
thanks to all those who helped at Sacramento Bar this time. Thanks
to Bob Cooley for printing the maps and to Jennifer Kerr for the
publicity. Special thanks to Jonas Libell, who spent lots of time
in advance, designing and setting courses, hanging controls and placing
water on the courses. On meet day, he also set out more controls
and water very early, and then assisted with setup and starts, and then
picked up controls! Also showing up early and helping to set up
and then working all day were Dave Takacs, Stew Hintz, Jeff Lanam and
Colin Quesenberry. Judy Koehler and Ellie Lightfoot gave Beginner
Clinics to several newcomers; Stew Hintz and Ellie Lightfoot joined me
to work at Registration; Kathy Tegtmeier, Mike Christensen, Colin
Quesenberry, Stew Hintz, Jeff Lanam, and Jonas Libell ran the Starts;
Dave Takacs managed Finishes and Results with his team of Deborah Wolley
and Jeff Thompson. Jonas Libell, Greg Ehrensing, Mark Blair, Brian
Michaels, Andy Miller, Pete Olsten and Dwight Freund all went back out
to pick up controls; and everyone assisted on the cleanup crew.
What a great crew!!! Thanks to all, and my apologies if I have
forgotten anyone!

To
all participants: please volunteer to assist at one or more of our 2010
meets. It's fun, you'll learn a lot more about orienteering, and
it's what enables us to provide more meets for all.
